His gaze is upon the humble
How many Jewish families thought their baby would be the one?
(Mary and Joseph both knew
Israel thought they were the one
Even at the cross, Jesus looked on the humble
Luke 23:
So, we find criminals and outcasts forgiven; lepers healed
We find that Israel was not chosen for her might or wealth
We find Mary, not for her perfections, but for the glory of God chosen to be the vessel to bring Messiah to Earth
And now we have you and I, when and where we realize our own meekness and humble ourselves, it is then that God intercedes and we are rightly called blessed.
His Mercy extends over generations
Before we speak of mercy, let us consider justice
The consequences of our sins can reach downstream long after we have gone, but thanks be to God for His mercy
We are indebted to the grace and mercy of God not only in our lives, but in the preceding generations before us
His Strength is unmatched
Who brought Israel out of Egypt?
Who crumbled the walls of Jericho?
Who slew the giant Goliath, overthrowing the Philistines?
1sam 45
Who empowered the Greeks and the Romans?
Who kept Jesus alive amid the slaughter of infants?
So Mary recognized, and so should we recognize that the strength of the Lord is unmatched.
He is able to do what He says, to the inclusion of saving and keeping souls for eternity.
His Help is present for His People

ex 1
The Lord is not some kind of cosmic genie to be commanded by whomever, but rather He is God and Lord and Savior to those who are His.
The greatest help given to unbelievers is the opportunity to hear and believe the gospel.

Advent 1 - The Promise Keeping God (Jer 33)
Advent 2 - Preparing to see the salvation of God ()
Advent 3 - Ordinary Expectations, Ordinary Means, Extraordinary Grace ()
Today, we with Mary do seek to magnify The Lord because of what He HAS done, what He IS doing, and for what He WILL do.
He is returning to make all things right.
To end suffering, to take His own to be with Him forever.
